Post-match analysis and player insights
As I've repeated many times, this team competes, playing well or poorly, but they never
stop trying, giving their all, and today, risking it, tired and with no legs left, once again
we went for it and luckily got our reward, so I'm happy.
This is the last one. How did you control that ball with your left foot? I mean, it seems normal for you,
but I imagine your kids must ask you, how did you do that and the cross for the goal?
No, well, we had just spoken with Licho before, during the break.
During the break, I saw him approach you to whisper something, was that it?
We had talked about that, that although it was difficult, the ball could get in because they gave him time
and he had time to cross it, it was difficult because the center-back was running back and retreating
when Magaba is going to play it long, but we knew there was space and that it could be there, that it had to be
very precise, and honestly, he played an amazing ball to me, and well, I was lucky enough to...
have it fall to me, and that's it, happy, we opened up a difficult match and we thought that because of that, the game would change
and honestly, it didn't change, they started to control the ball, and it started to get difficult for us
to press, you could tell, they always found a way out, they had a free man,
but well, even so, we won it, and now we're thinking about what's ahead.

Como yo repetí muchas veces, esta selección compite por ahí jugando bien o mal, pero nunca deja de intentarlo, de dar el máximo y hoy arriesgando y cansado y sin pierna una vez más lo fuimos a buscar y tuvimos el premio por suerte, así que contento. Esta es la última. ¿Cómo hiciste para controlar esa pelota de zurda? Yo se me hace decir normal para vos, pero bueno yo imagino que tus hijos te deben preguntar, ¿cómo fue eso y la del centro del gol?
No, bueno, habíamos hablado justo con Licho antes de, en el parón. En el parón, vi que él se te acercó para decirte algo al oído, ¿era eso? Habíamos hablado de eso, que si bien era difícil, podía entrar la pelota porque ellos le daban tiempo y tenía tiempo para poder lanzar, era difícil porque el central corría para atrás y retrocedía cuando Magaba va a tirar en largo, pero sabíamos que estaba al hueco y que podía estar, que tenía que ser
muy preciso y la verdad que me puso una bocha impresionante y bueno, yo tuve la suerte de... Y que me quede, y nada, feliz, abrimos un partido difícil y pensábamos que a raíz de eso el partido iba a cambiar y la verdad que no cambió, ellos no empezaron a controlar la pelota, a nosotros nos empezó a costar a presionar, se llevaba a motar, ellos siempre encontraban la salida, tenían un hombre libre, pero bueno, así todo lo ganamos y ahora pensamos lo que se viene.
